FBI arrests Puerto Rico Senator Abel Nazario on bribery charges

FBI agents arrested Puerto Rico Senator Abel Nazario and seven other people who were government employees on Wednesday morning for allegedly conspiring to commit fraud.

...
Nazario allegedly conspired to have employees bill the municipality for federal funds while working in his senatorial campaign as well as in other party members' campaigns, according to a federal indictment.

...
The latest arrests come as Puerto Rico recovers from a months-long political unrest that led to the resignation of the island’s previous governor Ricardo Rosselló in August after hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans participated in mass protests spurred in part by anger over corruption.

In July, two former officials from Rosselló's administration, former Education Secretary Julia Keleher and former Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration head Ángela Ávila-Marrero were arrested along with four other people on charges of steering federal money to unqualified, politically connected contractors.

They got lots of political corruption issues down there.

People have said for years that PR was a hotbed of government corruption.
So this should not come as any surprise.
